Kitchen Hutch Reveal

I showed my mom the hutch in my garage a few months ago and I think she was secretly coveting it. This piece I purchased off of craigslist along with a matching buffet. The buffet was purchased and custom painted for a customer and was featured on my first post. When my husband went to pick up the two pieces, the previous owners said they had an armoire we could have for free! They were just going to take it to goodwill and we were saving them the trip. I love a good piece of free furniture! We'll see what I can do to it later.

The hutch proved to be a little trickier than I planned, but really, isn't that how it always goes? I first painted it in Old white and dark waxed it hoping to make it looked aged and bring out the carving. I hated it. The dark wax just wasn't working. I repainted it all in Old White. I thought I'd just leave the inside of the hutch white as well. Changed my mind and repainted the inside the perfect blue-gray. I wanted to keep the original hardware so I painted it white as well to freshen it up. Well my well-intentioned husband went out to the garage for a touch up of some sort and came back in with the hardware snapped in half. I don't ask. I decided to go with some hardware I already had stashed away. I did leave the original glass, it was in perfect shape. I like the way it looks now better anyways :-)
